Chapter 242 Neutron Bomb
"They really stopped!" Shinjo's eyes widened in disbelief. He stared intently out the window, muttering to himself, "Do the Naga people really want us to surrender?"
At this moment, he was sitting in the cockpit of the Victory Flying Swallow. The seat vibrated slightly with the slight swaying of the spaceship, and the lights on the instrument panel flickered, reflecting his slightly anxious face.
Through the window, the outside world seemed particularly oppressive; gloomy clouds, like a huge lead plate, pressed heavily on the sky. A howling wind swept through, causing the roadside trees to bend and groan mournfully.
The mechanical dinosaur Marupo Naiza stood defiantly in the gale, its massive body resembling an unshakeable steel fortress, exuding a chilling aura.
This dinosaur really caused them a lot of trouble.
Each appearance is accompanied by destruction and disaster; cities are ravaged by its rampage, and people live in fear.
Lina's previously furrowed brows relaxed slightly. She took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up her courage, put aside her worries about her father, and focused her gaze firmly on the dinosaur in front of her.
She bit her lip slightly and said resolutely, "Even so, we can't just surrender. We should take this opportunity to think of a way. Command, is there any way?" As she spoke, her hands unconsciously gripped the armrests of the seat, her knuckles turning white from the force.
“Lina is right, giving up is impossible!” Vice Captain Zongfang crossed his arms, his expression resolute, his eyes revealing a determined light. “If all else fails, we still have the Atdis. Let Zara and Lucia evacuate the crowd to safety first.”
He slightly raised his chin, gazing into the distance, as if he could already see the scene of the Atlas heading to the rescue.
Kijima nodded slightly, her delicate face showing no sign of panic, her eyes revealing composure and decisiveness.
She quickly made arrangements, her voice crisp and clear: "Ye Rui, contact Zara and Lucia immediately and have them lead the rescue team to the vicinity of the Dinosaur Research Institute to evacuate the crowd. At the same time, closely monitor the movements of the Naga small spaceships and report any abnormalities immediately." As she spoke, her right hand tapped lightly on the command platform, the rhythm tight and powerful.
"Yes, Captain!" Ye Rui replied, his hands flying across the keyboard like lightning, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead and sliding down his cheeks. His eyes were fixed on the screen, his gaze intensely focused, as if afraid of missing a single detail.
"First, set up automatic mines..." a team member muttered to himself, his brow furrowed and his face full of thought.
“No, let’s follow Ye Ming’s plan first.” Another team member shook his head, his tone tinged with urgency.
As if suddenly remembering something, Megumi's eyes flashed, and she quickly changed her words, saying, "Vice-Captain, let's scan the inside of the dinosaur first." She narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of sharpness in her gaze.
Deputy Captain Zongfang immediately responded, "Understood, Captain." He quickly turned his head and sharply ordered the team member in charge of the scanning equipment, "Immediately conduct a full-range internal scan of the mechanical dinosaur to see what its internal structure is like." His voice was loud and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
The team members quickly operated the equipment, their fingers skillfully sliding across the control panel.
The instrument emitted a slight buzzing sound, and beams of bright scanning light shot towards the mechanical dinosaur like sharp swords.
At this moment, the command room was so quiet that only the sound of the instruments operating and the soft breathing of the people could be heard. Everyone was staring intently at the screen, their eyes filled with anticipation and tension.
Soon, the scan results were displayed before everyone's eyes. On the screen, the mechanical dinosaur's internal structure was intricate and complex, resembling a huge and mysterious maze. Countless unknown energy channels crisscrossed, shimmering with strange light, as if flowing with mysterious power.
Amidst the dense network of wires and devices, multiple control centers are distributed, beating rhythmically like a mysterious heart hidden in the darkness. At their core, there seems to be a device radiating intense energy fluctuations, its light as dazzling as a blazing sun, so bright that one dares not look directly at it.
"Captain, scan complete." The team member in charge of the scan swallowed hard, his voice tinged with tension and excitement. "The internal structure of this mechanical dinosaur is extremely complex. We've never seen the energy device at its core before. Our initial guess is that it might be the mechanical dinosaur's power source and control center." As he spoke, he pointed to the mysterious device on the screen, sweat trickling down his face and dripping onto the control panel.
Megumi gazed at the scanned image, her head slightly lowered, her right hand supporting her chin as she fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her head, her eyes resolute, and said, "If we can destroy this core device, we might be able to completely disable this mechanical dinosaur. Lina, Shinjo, you two search the vicinity for a way to enter the mechanical dinosaur. Make sure you get close to this core device." Her eyes were filled with trust and expectation, as if giving the two of them boundless strength.
Just then, a hissing sound came from the communicator; Daigo's voice had come through. "Captain, we've taken in a girl with superhuman abilities at the Dinosaur Research Institute," Daigo's voice came through the communicator, tinged with weariness, but mostly serious.
After Daigo finished his report, Horii leaned closer to the communicator, his eyes suddenly widening, a look of horror on his face. He said urgently, "No, that's not just a source of energy." His voice trembled slightly with tension, and his hands gripped the communicator tightly without his noticing.
"If I remember correctly, that was a neutron bomb!" Horii's voice was almost a shout, and the entire command room fell into a deathly silence. Everyone's face became extremely solemn.
Captain Megumi's heart tightened, her pupils contracted slightly, and she leaned forward instinctively, immediately asking, "Horie, tell me the details. How did this neutron bomb end up on a mechanical dinosaur? What will the consequences be?" Her eyes revealed deep worry, and her hands gripped the edge of the command console tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Horii took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his voice still trembled slightly: "Based on the footage, if the neutron bomb explodes, at least half of the life on Earth will be wiped out!" His face was full of despair and fear, as if he could already see that apocalyptic scene.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the command room was extremely oppressive. Everyone was shrouded in this terrible news, as if a catastrophe was about to befall them...
At this point, Megumi Kijima felt that it was alright, since a scan had been conducted first. If the Atlas had been deployed directly, it would have caused irreparable damage.
